Buyer Reviews : I've always been a fan of Mark O'Connor and Yo-yo Ma, and when I first discovered this album, I couldn't wait to get it. Working with bassist Edgar Meyer, the men created a beautiful, lilting album that salutes the best of what instrumental folk music can be--and elevating it beyond that 'bluegrass jugband' stigma.
A classical album that promises to be nothing more than a shining example of virtuoso playing by three incredible musicians, 'Appalachia Waltz' leaves very little to be desired--it is that good. My only wish is for a few more selections like the title track--quiet and contemplative songs that evoke warm nights on front porches. The majorityh of the selections are upbeat 'reel-like' choices.
Mastefully played, but with not quite enough moments to relax between the exciting parts.
